brian m. carlson 1f010d6bdf doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files.  While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.

It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering.  Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant.  Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.

Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.

git-column(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-column - Display data in columns
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git column' [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
[--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with
multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It
is used internally by other git commands to format output into
columns.
OPTIONS
-------
--command=<name>::
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and
column.ui.
--mode=<mode>::
Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option
syntax in linkgit:git-config[1].
--raw-mode=<n>::
Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used
by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
--width=<width>::
Specify the terminal width. By default 'git column' will detect the
terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
--indent=<string>::
String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
--nl=<string>::
String to be printed at the end of each line,
including newline character.
--padding=<N>::
The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
EXAMPLES
--------
Format data by columns:
------------
$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22
2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24
------------
Format data by rows:
------------
$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
------------
List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
------------
$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
v2.4.0 v2.4.0-rc0 v2.4.0-rc1 v2.4.0-rc2 v2.4.0-rc3
v2.4.1 v2.4.10 v2.4.11 v2.4.12 v2.4.2
v2.4.3 v2.4.4 v2.4.5 v2.4.6 v2.4.7
v2.4.8 v2.4.9
